Our migratory Seventh-day imitators of
their Israelitish primogenitors, at least in
so much as to live in tents, gave signs on
Tuesday of moving on, inasmuch as some
of their furniture was then sent away,
but the tabernacle itself was not taken
down until later. No great inroads into
the conservative, well-settled beliefs of
the community have been noticed.

cultivation Of the mem.

The cultivationof the men,
ory is an old art, and to this
should now be added tine art of
forgetting. There are many things
constatly being called to mind,
which infict injury, that it is pos
sible to Danish to the shades of
oblivion. To be covered with the
everlasting sunshine of high and
bright views, would be the result
of the introduction of this divine
art. 1t is not difficult to imagine
this art developed to SO high a de-
gree as to bring the world finally
to live above disease. Cultivate
the flowers until there is no room
for weeds. Keep the thoughts
pleasantly occupied by reading,
work, or recreation, and this rule
of life will give increase of
strength and power.
We call attention to
the announcement of corn
premiums, offered by the

stimulate our farmers the GRAPHIC

Adair county farmer producing
the best yield on five acres under
the conditions laid down by the
Board of Agriculture, and should
any farmer of this county secure
either of the three prizes offered
by the Board we will increase the
above amount to twenty-five dol
lars.

April 26, Tuesday, was quite a
day in Greentop, it being the eel
bration of the 9th anniversary of
I. o. o. F. There were portion
of five lodges took part in tn. fes-
tivities of the day; Kirksville,
lGlenwood, Lancaster, and Moul-
ton, Iowa, were all represented in
part. The program of the day
was as follows:
At 10 o'clock a. m. reunion at
hall; at l o'clock assembling at
hall to form for parade; OF l:30 the
members of the different lodges in
regalia formed columns, and head
ed by the Queen City Band parad-
ed north through town, then west
across the rail road to the M. E..
church, where a large crowd had
assembled in waiting. The church
was not sufficient to seat all. In
fact many had to remain without
not being able to get in. The ex-
ercises commenced with music by
the band after which prayer was
offered by Elder Rose, of Glen
wood; then very appropriate ad-
dress of welcome, by DIR. Wilson,
was delivered; after which ''mus1c
by the band" Then came the
most interesting part of the exer-
cises of the day, the address of IT.
A. Northcut of Knox City. Mr..
Northcutt spoke about an hour,
and delivered as fine an address
as it has been our pleasure to lis
ten to for many day. He depicted
in most appropriate and beautiful
language the design and object of
the "Mystic Brotherhood" No un-
prejudiced person could hear
this address and not have impress
ed upon his mind that Odd Eel
lowship is a grand and good thing
where it is carried out IN Its purity.
And on this point the speaker was
very PLAIN. He exhorted his breth-
rem in plain and strong terms to
be Odd Fellows in every sense of
the term, and this in such touch
ing and feeling language that no
one could help feeling the full force
of every word. We have no doubt
the order feels proud in having go
able and eloquent an exponent of
its principles. After MIR. North
cults address, short speeches were
made by several visiting brethren
which closed the exercises for the
day, with every one feeling that
the day had been well and profit
. bly, spent.

Thurman Declines to Enter the Race
for Governor Of Ohio.

CHICAGO, July l4.-A Daily Neus
special from Columbus, Ohio, says
A. Thurman, son of Judge Allen
6. Thurman, this evening received
aletter from his father, who is now
in Boston, in which he says in rela.
ton to the Democratic State Conven.
tion to be held at Cleveland next
week:
"a word about politics. I am
firmly resolved not to accept the
nomination for the Governorship, and
I look to you, Cultivate and other
friends, to prevent my name from
going before the convention. The
nomination would place me in a very
awkward position and would compel
me to disappoint many well meaning
and true friends. For, notwithstand-
ing ny warm appreciation of their
friendship and kind expressions of
confidence and good will from all, I
should, in my present health, be COM
PEELED to decline, and that would in
jure ne, and perhaps the party.
Therefore, I repeat, do not let my
name be brought before the conven:
ton"

NEWBERRY, S. c., THURSDAY, JULY 81, 1887

tain accurate information of the vol
cano ought to be heard from in the
course Of ten days. They carried
heavy pack trains and large quan-
tity Of scientific instruments, and
were, therefore, unable to take as
direct route as the one by which
we proceed. We crossed their track
at the beginning of the journey, but
I judge that they circled to the south
and probably approached the scene
of the eruption from the other side.
If such is the case l very much doubt.
from what I observed Of the neture
Of the country, whether they can ap-
proach near enough to the crater to
make observations Of any permanent
value. If they find this to be true
they will have to try another route
and the report may be delayed for a
month. That it will be of great sci
entifc interest admits OF no question
or doubt.
The numerous conflicting reports
which have been sent abroad in rela-
ton to this disturbance can be
readily accounted for by the fact that
they have emanated from Magdalena
and other points on the northern end
Of the Sonora Railway. An impass-
able mountain barrier intervenes be-
tween this road and the Bavispe dis
trict. TO pass around it would re-
quire months Of travel over one Of
the most terrible stretches Of country
on this hemisphere. SO it goes with
out saying that none of these reports
were direct, but rather rumors Of ru-
mors from the far South. I can say
without fear Of contradiction that no
other exploring party has thus far ap-
preached near enough to the scene of
action to carry away anything like
accurate information.

The People of Dalton, Ca, Deny hav.
ing Hung Governor Gordon in
Efiigy.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 14.-A large
public meeting of the leading citizens
Of Dalton, Ca, denounced as a Sian.
der the report sent out about the
hanging of Governor Gordon in efigy
by mob and a disturbance in the
city. The meeting passed series of
resolutions, in which they declare
but three men were engaged in the
effgy hanging and that these three
men were all intoxicated and deeply
regret their thoughtless conduct; but
five policemen were on duty and that
there was no disturbance in the CITY.
The resolutions close with these
words: "Our confidence in the JUS
tice, fairness, frmness and ability of
the honoCed ehief;magistrate of Geor-
gia remain unshaken." Governor
Gordon said to-day. that his only
regret was the foolish and false dis.
patches which had been sent over the
country had done the grievous wrong
to the people of Dalton and the sur.
rounding country. That so far as the
Communication of Holman,s sentence
is concerned, he could not have done
otherwise. The witnesses who testi.
fed in the case against Holman had
since sworn that they had perjlred
themselves on his trial.

FELL FROM THE SCAFFOLDING.
Two Men Killed and Several Others
Badly Wounded

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 14.-This
morning, about 8 o'clock, George
Caldwell, S. Jackson, William Oliver
and Sam Cunningham, all negroes,
we're engaged at work on some COL
umns that jutted out from the wall of
the house of representatives, about
thirty feet from the floor. They
were standing on a plank stretched
across the scafolding, when the plank
broke and precipitated them to the
floor beneath. Caldwell and Jack.
son were sitting on the plank drilling
hole in a piece Of iron, and Oliver
and Cunningham were standing at
the ends. Caldwell fell squarely on
his head, and died almost instantly.
Jackson fell among some lumber,
landed on his side, and had his right
arm and left leg crushed. He re-
ceiyed internal injuries that resulted
in his death, three and a half hours
after the accident. Oliver is badly
shaken up and bruised, though there
is no visible signs Of serious injury.
Cunningham came out with only q
sprained ankle. The coroner's jury
declared that the deceased came. to
their death from falling from an, in
secure scafold. The scafold was
built by Benjamin Roe, employed by
Bartlett, Howard & Co., of Baltimore,
contractors.
